Lovely
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I have a pattern of nice and lovely and then dark and twisted.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

Yeah, at home it's all moonbeams and puppy-dog tails, so I guess I do have a darker side - and I like writing about it.

Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.

Tone is everything in TV.

Movie
|
Nov 07, 2020

Originally, 'Popular' was going to be a movie.

I Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love crispy, cool sheets.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

You know, I'm very particular about my sheets. They have to be one hundred percent cotton, with a high thread count. Only cotton. No flannel.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've gotten death threats, yes. I have. I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy as acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don't like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a showrunner, you can never be a 'maybe.' When I do movies, there is a lot of, 'Maybe' and, 'Let's investigate that.' But for TV, it has to be yes or no.

Black
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm very black and white about what I like or don't like, and I've always been that way.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been sort of, 'I love it,' or, 'I hate it,' and I think, as a result, I've always been a polarizing person. You either love me or you hate me. There's not a lot of 'Hmmm.'

Difficult
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had a very rocky, difficult, emotional childhood with my parents.

Mother
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember I always felt much more safe standing up on a chair and singing in front of my mother than I was in front of my father!

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'd never had a mentor in Hollywood. Men have always been in control of the business, and they usually mentor people who are like them - but two inches shorter.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

Just because you have a baby on your hip - or one on the way or two at home - doesn't mean you can't go after your dreams.

Children
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think everyone wants for their children a world that's better than the one they came up in.

Change
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I got my overall deal at Fox, I got amazing bosses in John Landgraf and Dana Walden and Peter Rice. For the first time ever, they said, 'Don't change who you are; be who you are. And write something you want to watch.' That thing was 'Glee,' and it took off from there.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I started off in this business in 1998, and I didn't fit in. There was no place for me, and I always felt like an oddball. Nobody really understood my work or what I wanted to do in my references.

Every Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel every day that everything I create - everything I do - I want it to be a risk.

Nov 07, 2020

I think when you take the big swings - and I've done plenty of big swings that I was told were never going to work - those are always the things that break through.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's interesting when women direct. The work is better. They ask more people to participate.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'll ask the writers' room who they voted for Emmy awards, but I'll never ask who they voted for president.

Artist
|
Nov 07, 2020

Part of being an artist is being able to write about the world you live in and the times that you've been a part of.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

People think I'm just sort of this P. T. Barnum, razzle-dazzle guy. They think I go out of my way to be outlandish and theatrical at the expense of having emotions. They don't get that there's another side to me, and I keep trying to show that other side.

Everything
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was starting out in Hollywood, everything was such a battle.

Nov 07, 2020

You can't be the enfant terrible when you have the enfant at home.

Get
|
Nov 07, 2020

With all of my work, it always takes a while for people to get it.

Nov 07, 2020

I think John Landgraf sees things in the same way I do. We see eye to eye on a lot.

Pain
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't think there's ever a winner in a feud. It's about emotional pain and an inability to conquer the pain.

Different
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm passionate about actors, and I'm passionate about showing actors in different lights.

Brave
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love 'Girls' on HBO because it's brave and cool.

Death
|
Nov 07, 2020

I came of age during AIDS and the terror of that and the sadness and the death and the overwhelming despair.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love Larry Kramer's advocacy, and I love him as a person, and I think young people need to see that story.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel every day that everything I create - everything I do - I want it to be a risk. I think when you take the big swings - and I've done plenty of big swings that I was told were never going to work - those are always the things that break through.

Care
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I talk to young people, I always tell them the biggest lesson I learned was that you shouldn't care about the outcome. If it fails, it fails. Every failure will groom you for your next big reward.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I lean into fear because I feel like that excites me as an artist.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I actually think actors both are drawn to playing real-life historical people and are terrified.

Anything
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am not going to do anything unless I am afraid of it.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I loved musicals, and I loved Barbra Streisand, and I loved Louis Malle. My tastes were very bizarre, but the thing they all had in common is that they took me out of my life and made me feel something.

Nov 07, 2020

I would much rather have watched Jill Clayburgh in 'An Unmarried Woman' than 'Star Wars.' Even though I saw that movie when I was 11, I related emotionally to being left and thrown in a trash can on the side of the road. Her damage - I got it. I didn't understand Han Solo at all.

Gay
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always felt I've related to women deeply because of being gay and feeling like there was always somebody trying to oppress me, to keep me down, to put me in my place.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like I grew up in such a big way in the past couple of years, in a way that I never thought I would. You can't be the enfant terrible when you have the enfant at home.

Big Head
|
Nov 07, 2020

The only way to get through the life I had was just to have a big head of steam and determination.

Pain
|
Nov 07, 2020

You've not felt the pain of rejection until a television show based on your own life is canceled.

Nov 07, 2020

I formed this thing called the Half Foundation, and what I tried to do is quantify hiring practices in Hollywood. Half the population is women, so half of the storytellers should be women. Fifty percent of all the directors in my company are women, and it will forever be that way.

Nobody
|
Nov 07, 2020

All the big successes of my career have been ideas that, on paper, you think, 'Well nobody's going to go for this because that genre is so dead.'

Get
|
Nov 07, 2020

I started off as a journalist when I was young and I did not get paid unless I wrote three stories a day.

Nov 07, 2020

Even though 'Glee' is sometimes a hard road, I am very excited about writing a multi-year arc.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Well, I'm from Indiana. So to me when I was a little kid growing up, Cincinnati was the glamorous New York of it all.

Favorite Show
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.
